A Human-Powered Dot Matrix Printer

Slow? Well, last month, I sent a print job to a networked color printer and it came out 6 days later. So maybe the Human Printer at the University of Derby isn't so bad. Its members make halftone photographic images, one dot at a time. They're taking orders, so if you submit an image, they'll print it for you.

I believe they stopped some endurance records, but only the ones that have the potential to be very harmful (like time without sleep, food, water).

Checking around it appears my memory is faulty and Guinness does indeed still list endurance records. Guess my brain cells don't win the memory endurance world record.

Didn't Guinness stop listing endurance events like this one a few decades ago because people were injuring themselves, sometimes fatally, in their quest for small print glory?
